Carrageenan Elimination

Discovery: Carrageenan - the next thing to eliminate.

Both of the non-dairy creamers I just tried since going dairy free (Coconut & Soy Creamers from Whole Foods) have an ingredient called Carrageenan that is reported to cause an inflamed gastrointestinal tract.

Here's a link on what that is:

Also- this link is awesome and tells you what brands do and don't have carrageenan:

I'm going to try rice milk (Rice Dream) w/out carrageenan next.

I also just discovered that the soy milk creamer I bought had pure cane sugar in it. Reading ingredient labels is a new thing for me. Shocking to know how many products out there have sugar, milk or other non-obvious ingredients in them.
